This game situates students in the Multiparty Negotiating Process
taking place at the World Trade Center in Kempton Park in 1993.
South Africa is facing tremendous social anxiety and violence. The
object of the talks, and of the game, is to reach consensus for a
constitution that will guide a post-apartheid South Africa. The
country has immense racial diversity--white, black, Colored,
Indian. For the negotiations, however, race turns out to be less
critical than cultural, economic, and political diversity. Students
are challenged to understand a complex landscape and to navigate a
surprising web of alliances. The game focuses on the problem of
transitioning a society conditioned to profound inequalities and
harsh political repression into a more democratic, egalitarian
system. Students will ponder carefully the meaning of democracy as
a concept and may find that justice and equality are not always
comfortable partners with liberty. While for the majority of South
Africans, universal suffrage was a symbol of new democratic
beginnings, it seemed to threaten the lives, families, and
livelihoods of minorities and parties outside the African National
Congress coalition. These deep tensions in the nature of democracy
pose important questions about the character of justice and the
best mechanisms for reaching national decisions.
